Answer:

The Battle of Haldighati was a battle fought on 18 June 1576 between the armies of the Rana of Mewar, Maharana Pratap, and the Mughal emperor Akbar’s forces, led by Man Singh I of Amber. The battle was held because Akbar was planning to stabilise his kingdom by gaining control over Rajput regions, which would have also secured lines of communication with Gujarat. In Rajasthan, almost all major kings had accepted the Mughal dynasty except Udai Singh, the father of Maharana Pratap. After Udai Singh’s death, his son Maharana Pratap took charge of Mewar. No negotiations worked and Akbar finally decided to begin the war.

To demonstrate his authority, Akbar laid siege to Chittorgarh in October 1567. The Rajputs were surrounded and besieged by the Mughals.

Udai Singh was forced to quit and the responsibility of defence was given to King Jaimal of Merta, who was killed during the battle. Udai Singh continued to stay in the forests of Aravalli till his death four years later.

Although the battle ended in defeat for the forces of Mewar, Maharana Pratap escaped continuing his valiant resistance against the Mughal Empire.

The battle of Haldighati was significant for the valour displayed by the Rajputs and the small tribe Bhils. Rana Pratap set an example of courage and bravery in the Haldighati battle. It was a turning point for the Mughals as well, as it for a time halted Mughal expansion into the rest of Mewar, diverting valuable military assets to the region.

With Rana Pratap able to make a successful escape, the battle failed to break the deadlock between the two powers. Subsequently, Akbar led a sustained campaign against the Rana, and soon, Goganda, Udaipur, and Kumbhalgarh were all under his control. Pressure was exerted by the Mughals upon the Rana’s allies and other Rajput chiefs, and he was slowly but surely both geographically and politically isolated.
